Partially visible wisdom teeth
in Colonial Heights
 Partially
visible
wisdom teeth in Colonial Heights are susceptible to bacteria that can cause
wisdom tooth infection. Cysts and tumors can grow on a trapped wisdom
tooth, causing irritation and some pain as well as diseases of the gums.
Another problem we often
see at Thomas G Schleicher DDS PLC occurs when the second molar, the last tooth before the wisdom
tooth, is damaged as the wisdom tooth grows in without enough room.
The younger the patient, the easier the
healing will be, which is another reason not to wait before removing
impacted wisdom teeth. At Thomas G Schleicher DDS PLC this oral surgery is often performed in the office under anesthesia, providing
patients with maximum comfort while keeping the procedure efficient and
cost-effective. Local anesthetic (such as novocaine) is always used, but
you may opt for additional comfort with nitrous oxide ("laughing gas"),
IV sedation (twilight sleep) or deep sedation (general anesthesia.)
